First CD You Bought! (Take 2)

Let's try this again, don't screw it up this time Josh!� :)

the wishing chair by 10,000 maniacs. i still listen to it, tho i'm not the rabid natalie merchantphile i once was.

Green day - Dookie,� Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, bought at the same time when I was 14

May 1, 1987 - Revolver by the Beatles.

I still have the receipt in the cd case. I bought my first CD player January 3, 1990 for $99 at Stereo Advantage. It was next door to the record store I was working at.

kenny g.� whatever album came out in 1994 with a black and white cover.

Bleh.

S

Dude, you know I luff ya... but you need a smack upside the head for that.
:D

You need to listen to I agree with Pat Matheny.

It's an MP3, Give it time to load, it is worth it.

Queen - "Live At Wembley". Yeah!

my first CD was the original broadway cast of A CHORUS LINE.

which i bought about a year and a half before i had a CD player :)

First CD I bought was Music for a Darkened Theater Vol. 1 at the same time that my family got a component CD player.

Oooh, I LOVE that CD.

Hanson. Middle of Nowhere. ::hides behind a chair::

::comes back out::...I was 14 and they were cute, okay? And they still ARE and the CD's STILL good and corny. Everyone's gotta have an album they're ashamed they love. ;o)

I think I also bought No Doubt at the same time... whatever album they put out in 1997/8.

You were a teenybopper at the time. I think you get a pass on that.

I'm going to list my first vinyl albums. I think that is actually more on point. First my sister bought me Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest hits. Then I bought Dylan's Highway 61 Revisted and Bringing it All Back Home Along with Arlo's Alice's Restaurant.

But... what was your first cd?
And, I closed your tag for ya. ;)

I'm not really sure. It wasn't as memorable My guess is Shooting Rubberband at the Stars - Edie Brickell or Melissa Ethridge's first CD.

I totally remember my first vinyl! Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down, Shirley Squirrley and Melvin - Live 9they were kind of like the Chipmunks but they sang songs by people like Janis Joplin), and Duran Duran - Rio. Bought them all just after Christmas in 1985. I think my first 45 single was Stray Cats - Sexy and Seventeen. Either that or Sheena Easton's Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)

My first cd is less memorable. I think it was probably Glass Tiger - Thin Red Line

My first vinyl was when i was like 4, and it was How the grinch stole Christmas, and Horton hears a who. My first musical vinyl was Dead Kennedy's - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

My first vinyl....

1974 Dark Lady by Cher on 45 along with Blue Swede Hooked on a Feeling.

LPs - Mickey Mouse Club and Bubblegum's greatest hits with the 1910 Fruitgum Company and a bunch of others.

Heh, Hanson was quick to fall out of the music world when their music became more "mature".� Kiss of death, teeny-bopper icons....

if by "falling out of the music world," you mean "selling out decent-sized folkie venues."

Well, the music world as they knew it.

Basically, they got a life. :)

heeee. i was very tempted to see their shows at schubas, actually...i liked them a lot in their teenybopper days, and i'd be interested to know what direction they've taken.

You just think they are cute and want to see if you can take them home.

oh yeah, that, too.

Bah, who wouldn't? ;o)

Carey, I saw them do a tune on WGN when they were here, it sounded great.� Hopefully the parents are managing their money well enough to keep them putting out records for awhile, cause they're sounding quite good.�And hey... in a few years all 3 will be legal.� Hahaha!

Ramones Mania� and I did� Bop Till I dropped

and it was.... Ace of Base: The Sign.� I'm going to go hide now.

Iron Maiden "No Prayer for the Dying"

:D

i think was 14 ... i really liked one track on it called Assassin and ended up liking the whole CD.� of course, i bought i immediately bought pocket full of kryptonite afterwards...� hehe

�-= george =-

Hey, I bought Pocket Full of Kryptonite myself.

And someone will always chime with "4:30!" whenever anyone asks What Time Is It?

i've got you beat: pocketful of kryptonite, turn it upside-down, *and* homebelly groove. eesh.

Oooh!! *laugh*� I thought you bought a pocket full of kryptonite. I was all like.. wow, you can buy that stuff.

I did respect that unlike the other teeny-bopper acts, they did write their own music, even though they obviously had *help*.

But give them credit for not burning out by continuing to churn out teeny-bopper stuff, because they really would give them a short shelf-life.� Now it looks like they'll be around for a while, even if they don't sell a bajillion records like they used to.

When you are replying to another thread hit the reply link. If you fill in the form at the bottom nobody knows what you are referring to.

i think that was just an error on john's part...and i actually knew what he was talking about, too. :)

well so did I. I was just ashamed to admit it and I don't want to take them home with me or little boys in Washington Square Park that looks like them.

I didn't mean to single out John. It's something I've noticed and figured this time I'd say something.

the little boys didn't look like hanson -- the looked like young neal, young james spader, and young generic cutie-pie boy. they *sounded* like hanson.

I had "The Phantom Of The Opera: the Original Canadian Cast Recording" first. (A gift from the 'rents) Second came Al Jarreau's Tenderness (A gift from mom, she thought she got the tape version). After that, I joined Columbia House, so I guess the first CD I truly got for myself was "The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

'Cause I've had 33s, 45s, 8-tracks, cassettes...

But the first CD was Harry Connick Jr. We Are In Love. Still one of my favorite albums.

Abby Road, Beatles

first cds might've been�the seal album w/ "kiss from a rose"�and abba's greatest hits, sometime in late 1995... first cassette tape i'm prouder of: they might be giants' flood in '92.� i still have my first cd player--one of those crappy ones without any digital display so you have to keep hitting "up" till you hear the track you want.� pain in the derriere, but it works.�

Cool!� Ancient CD players!!!� (Hee hee.)

I've gotta track one down and take it apart and see how they work.

You KNOW if you have an ancient CD player it not only has the ability to switch between tracks, but cue marks as well.� I noticed this in the Rutgers music library in their music listening room.� They have record player, cassette players, and CD players, with the CD players having the ability to go to cue marks in between the tracks.� Actually, it was useful as a few of the CDs in their collection actually do have cue marks.

Long Side Note:� They have the Sgt. Pepper vinly record in their collection, and what luck, it's an original British pressing of the record, so it has the inner groove sounds on it.� For those of you who don't know, the inner groove in the part of record where the needle goes towards the center and stays there until you lift the player.� Someone in the Beatles camp decided it would be a funny idea to put a collage of sounds on inner groove of Side 2 of the record.� The last song on the record, A Day In The Life, ends with this long piano chord that decays into infinity.� Someone figured the collage of sounds would be a way to signal the listener to stop the damn record, or just to freak them out.

After the "inner groove" was discovered by Capitol, they stopped pressing that version of the record and starting printing versions of the record without the inner groove.� The inner groove never made it to the United States.� The cassette version didn't have it at all, but when the CD came out, it finally came back, in which the inner groove plays and then just simply fades out (On the record, it would keep repeating until you finally stopped the record player).

One more note on the inner groove, people believe that if you play it backwards, it says, "We'll fcuk you like we're Supermen."

Sorry for the tangent, but I just remember those cool things about the Rutgers music library.� I could spend hours down there.� Maybe too long. :)

A lot of the Telarc classical CDs I have have cue marks on them, and I never had a player that could use them. They're nifty.

�It was either a greatest hits collection by The Mamas & The Papas or� The Rutles (soundtrack to All You Need Is Cash).� I know� that my family had just gotten a player- we were so cutting edge, it was only 1997!:p� but that I didn't have one in my dorm room at the Land so I had to listen to my cds in Carey's room.

*dances off humming a strange medley of "sing for your supper" and "goosestep mama"*

it was both of them, actually :)

The first CD I ever bought was the score from Jurassic Park. I bought that CD in the summer of 1993, when I was 13. I didn't get a CD player until Christmas that year.

The first cassette I ever bought, I think, was Weird Al's Even Worse, and I think I was about seven or eight years old at the time.

The first record, as in a 33, I ever bought was probably a Monkees album, but I forget which one. When I was 16, I got hardcore into the Monkees and I started buying old records.

My first tape that I bought on my own was the Top Gun soundtrack

My first LP was the Beetlejuice Soundtrack (though as I was thumbing through my records, I was surprised to find that I had also purchased The Transformers Movie Sountrack in the mix (.oO You got the touch Oo..))

My first 45 is Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now followed by a bunch of other cheesy late 80s singles. *hides*

Transformers: The Movie Soundtrack:� One of the best records to come out of the 80s.� Seriously. :)

I jumped out of my chair when I heard Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler sang that song in the film Boogie Nights.

1st tape: RunDMC - Raisin Hell

2st cd: ummm... *thinks*
*goes to look in cd rack*
I think it was the Singles soundtrack. :)

Here's another question.
How many people STILL OWN the 1st cd/tape/album they ever bought?

I do. I refuse to get rid of anything.

Amen.
I still own every one I ever bought... and .. still listen to them all, too. :)

I still have them all. whether or not I still listen to them is another story. :)

Yep, still have 'em - and I still listen to them too. Not as much as I used to but they still get spun...

Raisin hell, is that where bad rasins go whan they die?

My first Tape : IRON MAIDEN - LIVE AFTER DEATH
My first CD : KANSAS - LIVE AT THE WHISKEY

hoy was i young...

�-= george =-

yeah, i can't remember my first cd...

but first tape... that's easy,

bon jovi - slippery when wet

wayyyy back in grade 4

I got my first CD player on June 5, 1989 - a hs graduation present. My dad's girlfriend gave me my first�CD, Tchaikovsky's Greatest Hits.

On June 6, 1989, my sister took me CD shopping at the Sam Goody's at WestFarms Mall outside Hartford. I got The Patsy Cline Story, The Raw And The Cooked by Fine Young Cannibals, Camille Saint-Saens' Symphony Number 3, and Vivaldi's Four Seasons on the Telarc label.

In college I was too poor to buy many CDs, but now I have about 900. I've been a real slacker about updating my CD database.

Did that have Symphony No. 4 in F Minor on it?

I was just listening to that yesterday. Small world.

Did what? The Tchaikovsky disc? No, but I have his symphony number 4 on a separate disc - Telarc with David Zinman conducting Baltimore, I believe.

When I was younger and my dad bought our first CD player, there was still a CD Rental store in town - it was still that much of a novelty. It eventually became a LaserDisc Rental store, then a DVD Rental store, and is now gone, but that's not really the point. ;)

I used to rent Amy Grant's "Heart in Motion" CD (possibly her only non-Christian recording, I'm not sure) all the time, so my aunt bought it for me. My second CD ever would have been Disney's Sebastian - a whole concert by the little crab.

Oh, shut up. I might have been ten years old at that point.

heart in motion.� that CD came out and i swore that amy grant would be my future ex-wife; i thought that she was the single most awesome human being on the face of the earth.

ahh to be young again.

(:

�-= george =-

At the time I was more about -being- her than -doing- her. *winks*

hey, i'm allowed to have the occasional vice, aren't i? :D

�-= george =-

*laughs* I might have thought about doing her too, but I was too young to know that someday I'd like that.

gah.� i keep forgetting that people are younger than me. (:

�-= george =-

i am not.

�-= george =-

Too bad, that. ;)

nope, not her only non-Christian one... I used to listen to "House of Love" by Amy... which had "Lucky One" and a happy cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" on it.

I have that CD! It's pretty good.

I think Weird Al's Bad Hair Day was the first CD I ever actually bought.� I was in high school at the time; I didn't get a CD player until embarrassingly late in life, and I didn't really own much music prior to college.

Hrm..� I think I bought a few at the same time.

*note. I was 13 at the time*

The Bodyguard Soundtrack

Mariah Carey-MTV Unplugged.

*still hides*

rebecca

well, i never bough any vinal for my self, but when i was a lil kid we had this big box of 45s that i think were my dad's and my favouite one was Dave Saville "Withcdoctor"

the first tape i bought was -mumbles-............new kids on the block "hangin' tough".......::puts a paper bag over her head and hides under the bed::

i hope my first CD will redeem me tho...it was bought exactly one week after i received my first CD player for my 15th birthday.....REM "Automatic for the People" ...still one of my favourite CDs!!!

The first CD my family got when we first got a CD player was the original Boradway cast recording of Les Miserables. *yum*

mmmm...good musical. I think my sister had that on LP and I eventually bought the Broadway CD and the Complete Symphonic CD. I also have the 10th Anniversary one, the original French Concept Album as well as the London Cast on LP. (well, what can I say? I really love Les Mis). I really wanted the Vienna Cast Recording at one point cause I was taking German in college and thought it would have been cool to listen to it.

I loved Les Mis when I was a kid... To be honest I still love it, but something about died when it got all touristy and 11-year-old girls are always singing the songs badly and it's so all over the place and yet so many people know it only as "Les Miz" and some don't even know what you're saying when you say "Les Miserables"... by the end it just wasn't as grand as it once was. But back 10 or so years ago, seeing it for the first time, and in the evening putting the CD in the new CD player in the living room with the music filling the space... I was completely enthralled with it.

Tom Cochrane - Ragged Ass Road.

I was eleven.

Oh Tom, you just don't rock like you used to...
